Wildlife Rescue Rehabilitation apps WIRES vs WildHelp, comparison, review |
WIRES is an actual wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organization in Australia. They've been around since 1985, have over 2,500 volunteers in 27 branches. Below is their website.

Here is more information about their app.

You basically fill out an online form which then is automatically sent to the closest wildlife rehabilitator who handles that species. I've received these auto emails and responded. These people have the most complete list of all licensed rehabbers in the US and other countries. They reached out to me when they started their app. I gave them all the info I had. I tested the app. It works quickly and efficiently.
Next we have Rebecca Dmytryk's app which she said she spent thousands developing. The first screen is a legal "Terms of Use" agreement with threatening language. It includes a bunch of false statements about wildlife laws and regulations. Rebecca Dmytryk keeps telling everyone that no one can touch wildlife as it's protected. That is false. Anyone can try to help ill, injured and orphaned wildlife. They can pick it up and take it to a vet or rehabber for up to 48 hours. What's ironic is Rebecca Dmytryk says only licensed, permitted people may handle, possess wildlife. Not only is that not true but Rebecca Dmytryk has never had a wildlife rehabilitation permit ever.
The app instantly demands your phone number or you cannot go further. I put in a fake phone number which worked. The website and app basically begs for donations. It also thanks a bunch of non-existent people for their help. On top of this it asks rehabbers to sign up to be included on the app. Rebecca included people who said they don't want to be on her list. I said I didn't want to be on her list. Then she used a fake email to pretend to be her assistant to ask me again to be on the list. I told her no again.

She will use your information to email you pleas for donations. You can see originally she wanted to charge finders money to find help for the animals! What a total piece of shit. The other app doesn't charge. Rebecca here also tries to sell cheap tshirts from the app. As expected this app is only about getting money for Rebecca Dmytryk. She wants donations when she does not rehab wildlife. She has never rehabilitated wildlife ever.
Someone recently posted that I'm posting about Rebecca Dmytryk because I'm "jealous that her dad is a famous director." I'm posting to warm people about this fraudster who has never been a wildlife rehabilitator. I wish someone had warned me. The person who thinks I'm "jealous" obviously does not know the dad. The father is despised by his family, friends, industry. His family members were so upset by what he did that they all changed their last names. His brothers and their wives changed their last names. His father's wives got rid of that last name and went back to their maiden names. They even moved.
Edward Dmytryk did the worst thing anyone could do. He ratted out his friends, family members to the government as communists. People were arrested, lives were destroyed. I'm amazed Rebecca would play up her father's last name. I would change it if I were she.
